How they turn their attentions...I don’t think they want a seat at the table, I think they want to mold things into their image instead... next election doesn't really matter to them, they'll probably go back to supporting the GOP candidates, just without as much backing from Dem donors. they've been cleaning up taking inmoney from the rich Dem people who live down the road from me.

While that makes her a bad Democrat, Mitch McConnell is Senate Majority Leader and a winning challenger would not be- even if they were an actual conservative republican, taking him out as majority leader is vital to democracy at this point.

At best I think they rally round Romney or someone and try to build the dominant anti-dem coalition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative; deal with it. Not everything needs a ton of taxpayer money thrown at it. Hey, I have no idea where you stand on actual economic policies. But to me, flatter taxes, means testing, and supply side economics are all involved with 'fiscally conservative'. Fiscal 'conservatives' have had no issues running up the deficit, finding money for imperialism, the war on drugs, or for more prisons with higher walls, but actually anyone asking for actual taxpayer money to go back to taxpayers and workers is 'fiscally liberal'. I'm referencing the terms as [I generally understand them] and have no idea where you stand on those [specific] issues. It's weird too because the Dems have been arguably more fiscally conservative the last 20 years than Republicans. I stand by my original comment.

Sadly we all have different opinions on where the money is needed. The problem being we all think we are 100% correct. (I know I'm 100% correct) Edit: I had an extra "have" in there.

So, social programs and the like, Chats? Strong safety net? 'Fiscally conservative' in Canada generally means you're only for those things to a small degree, ergo, kinda tough to be that and socially liberal [though I know you're down with the good causes of course, LGBQT+ et al incl] I'm center-left, personally, but the only time I take issue with more taxes is when it's due to the ruling party's bone-headed malfeasance.

IheartIheartTesla Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 54 minutes ago, Tywin et al. said: Also, shit, MSNBC had a poll up that showed Biden +3 in TEXAS. If this is the UT Tyler poll, then yes, it did show Biden up by 3 (should note its a B/C rated pollster), and the average of polls still has Trump up here by 1-2 points. With that in mind, some polls that show Biden ahead is not surprising (although +3 Biden is pushing any gaussian-like distribution of polls around the mean) Should also note that Texas is now at 80% of 2016 levels in terms of early voting.

The comedian reacted to Trump's comments calling Cohen a 'phony' and a 'creep,' adding "I don't find him funny." "Donald—I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either," Cohen tweeted. "But yet the whole world laughs at you. I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, and you’ll need a job after Jan. 20.
